Family Threads

Inspired by: Unknown Artist, English Teapot David Seltzer, Sea Salt/Lemon Sage

Shared experiences, oral and written accounts, heirlooms, music and food are some of the many threads that make up a family’s history. The English teapot evoked images of recipes passed down through generations, becoming an ancestral food “quilt.” Sea Salt/Lemon Sage informed my color palette. After copying personal family recipes, I dyed the papers with tea, coffee and spices before cutting and arranging them, along with antique fabrics, into a mid 20th century scrap quilt pattern.
